Bon Voyage (1944)
A young Scottish RAF gunner is debriefed by French officials about his escape from occupied territory, and in particular one person who may or may not have been a German agent.
A short propaganda film, well produced and interestingly telling its story Rashomon-like in two different versions, albeit one of them is the true story.
New Stuff: Björk
Designed as a slipcased world of wonders, this publication which accompanies springs exhibition on Björk at The Museum of Modern Art is composed of six parts: four booklets, a paperback and a poster. Each booklet contains illustrated texts by, respectively, Klaus Biesenbach, Alex Ross, Nicola Dibben and Timothy Morton, while the poster features artwork of Björks albums and singles.
Aventure malgache (1944)
A French actor chatting with his fellow actors as they put on their makeup before a performance. reminisces about a very unpleasant Vichy official that he knew when he was part of the Resistance on the island of Madagascar during the Second World War.
Short propaganda piece, well staged in flashbacks, but not particularly engaging and quite dated.
